As her youth, she was not an ordinary girl, but intelligent and excelled in school and get a scholarship. One day, a computer error occurred. Who would have thought, it was brought her to the mission as a Christian and changed her life as a whole.
In 1975 for the first time the computer was used for the pre-registration process on campus. Actually, she enrolled in a class in the field of recreational therapy, but the computer register one in the theater class. Classes can not be canceled because it was too late.
Canceling classes are also not an option, because as the grantee student, F value means danger.
Then, her husband suggested that Aminah facing lecturers to look for alternatives in the classroom performances. And how surprised she was, because the class was filled with Arab children, and ‘the cameleers’. Could not, she went home and decided not to go to class anymore.
It is impossible for her to be in the middle of the Arabs. “No way I was sitting in a classroom full of infidels!” He said at the time.
Her husband tried to calm her down and said maybe God has a plan behind the incident. For two days Aminah confine herself to think, until finally she concluded maybe it is a hint from God, that he led the Arabs to embrace Christianity.
So she has a mission to be accomplished. In class he continues to discuss Christianity with Arab friends of her.
"I started by saying that they would be burn in hell if they do not accept Jesus as their savior.
They were very polite, but did not convert. Then I explained how Jesus loved and was willing to die on the cross to remove their sins. “
But the invitation did not work. My friends do not want to turn in her class so she decided to learn the Quran to show that Islam is a false religion and Mohammad was not a prophet.
She also conducted research for a year and a half to finish reading the Quran.
But unconsciously, she slowly turned into a different person, and her husband noticed. “I changed a little, but enough to make him annoyed. Usually we go to the bar every Friday and Saturday, or to the party. And I no longer want to go. I became more subdued and stay away. “
Seeing the changes, he thought she was having an affair, because the man that makes a woman change.
The peak, she was asked to leave the house and live in different apartments. She continued to study Islam, while still being a devout Christian.
To this end, guidance comes. Finally, on May 21, 1977, a devout church states, “I testify that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger.”
Trip after saying two sentences creed, like other converts, is not an easy matter. Aminah lose everything she loves.
She lost almost all her friends, because it is not fun anymore. Her mother could not accept, and hope it’s just burning passion that will soon die out.
Her psychiatrist sister thought she was crazy. Her father was a gentle, aim the weapon and are ready to kill her.
Shortly thereafter, she was wearing a hijab. On the same day she lost her job.
Complete. She lived without a father, mother, brother, friends and work. When she was but live separately with her husband, divorce is now in sight.
In court she has to make decisions in her lives bitter; abandoned Islam and will not lose custody of their children or keep embrace of Islam and had to leave the kids. “It was the most painful 20 minutes of my life,” she recalls.
More painful because doctors have sentenced her no longer able to have children due to complications suffered.
"I pray beyond the usual. I know, there is no safer place for my children than being in the hands of God. If I deny Him, then the future is not possible for me to show them how wonderful to be close to God. "
She also decided to release her children, a son and her little daughter.
However, God is merciful. He was given the gift of the beautiful words that make many people touched and her Islamic behavior. She has turned into a different person, much better. As soon as possible so that families, friends and relatives who first hostile, gradually began to appreciate her choice.
On many occasions she sent a greeting card for them, sentences inscribed wisdom of Qur’anic verses or hadith, without citing the sources.
Some time later he also reap the seeds that are planted. The first person to accept Islam is her grandmother who is over 100 years old. Shortly after converting to Islam her grandmother had died.
"On the day she uttered creed, all his sins forgiven, and good deeds are keep recorded. Converted to Islam shortly after she died, I knew her credit record books heavy on the side of goodness. It makes me filled with joy! "
Furthermore, the acceptance of Islam is the one who had wanted to kill her, her father.
Islamic father reminded her of the story of Umar bin Khattab. Two years after Aminah embracing Islam , her mother called and was very appreciative of the new faith. And she hopes Aminah would still hold it.
A few years later, the mother called her again and asked what to do if someone wants to be Muslim. Aminah said that he /she must believe that there is only one God and Muhammad is His messenger.
"If it’s, all stupid people knew. But what to do? "Asked his mother again.
Told by Aminah, that if her mother had believed meant she was Muslim. Her mother then said, “OK, all right. But do not tell your father, ” she message.
Her mother did not know that her husband (the stepfather of Aminah) has become a Muslim a few weeks earlier. Thus they lived together for several years without each other knowing that her partner had converted to Islam.
His sister who had struggled entering Aminah to a mental hospital, eventually embraced Islam. Aminah’s son was growing up. Entering the age of 21 years he called his mother and said he wanted to be a Muslim.
Sixteen years after the divorce, her ex-husband also embraced Islam. He said, for sixteen years he watched Amina wanted their son and daughter have same religion as her mother.
The man came to meet and apologize for what he had done. He was a very good man and Amina had forgiven him long ago.
Perhaps the greatest reward for her is what she received later. Amina is married to someone else, and even though the doctor had said she was not able to have children again, God was bestowed a beautiful son.
If God wishes to give grace to someone, then who can stop him? So she named his son Barakah.
She once lost a job, now is the President of the International Muslim Women’s Union. She successfully lobbied the U.S. Post Office for stamps and fighting for Eid feast was a U.S. national holiday.
Sacrifice once given Aminah to defend Islam as if it was reciprocated. “We all surely will die. I am confident that the pain I was experienced contained blessings. “
Aminah Assilmi has now gone, leave all that she loved. Including his son who were hospitalized, in a car accident on her way home from New York to preach the message of Islam.
